Many years ago, the Toad Witch had spoken a prophecy to Cersei the Maiden. You will one day be the mother of the world. Until another woman comes, younger and more beautiful than you. She will overthrow you and take away all that you hold dear.
The True Dragon Alliance was formed. Aegon and Sansa were married. Aegon declared himself the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and called himself Aegon the Sixth. After his wife was crowned, Aegon led two armies to attack the King's Landing from the north and south.
When Cersei received the news, she finally felt fear. Then she realized the truth: the woman in the prophecy was not Margaery, whom she had always feared, nor was she the Dragon Queen, whom she had always longed for but never had the chance to meet. It was her former follower, Sansa Stark!
"So it was her. So it was her. That little bitch. I should have …"
In the Red Keep's Plum Tower, Cersei's eyes were burning with hatred. She spun around in the room like a top and muttered like a madwoman.
You Lun did not understand what was going on with his wife, but he could sense her fear and helplessness. He said gently, "My dear, I swear. I will defend your crown with my life. Aegon can only enter the King's Landing over my dead body!"
After that, he received Queen Cersei's permission to secretly contact the Alliance. In exchange for a dragon egg and a Dragon's Horn, he rented a squad of Winged Dragons from the Alliance.
Take note, You Lun is renting the Pterosaur Squad, not joining the Alliance Army. She is also not roping in the Alliance Army to attack her nephew with the Dragon Queen as their common goal.
When the squad of Winged Dragons arrived, he made a clear statement in the Imperial Council. "We are only targeting Aegon Targaryen, who started the civil war and destroyed the peace. Renting the squad of Winged Dragons is just a commercial activity."
In fact, that was what he said in the letter he sent to the Alliance.
But everyone knew that this was just a small trick to avoid Dragon Queen's revenge. The Allies had received the dragon egg and the horn, and they had also gotten King Aegon, so they didn't mind You Lun taking advantage of them.
Cersei was not satisfied. She thought this was too cowardly.
"I'm not afraid of Danny Alice!" She announced to all the ministers at the Imperial Conference.
However, the ministers of government and even the Lannister who controlled the Lion Army did not want to fight to the death with the Dragon Queen before the situation at Slave Bay was clear.
They let out a long sigh of relief and gladly accepted the Winged Dragon Mercenaries. They then sent a letter to Dragonstone Island and explained the situation to the Dragon Queen.
But the Winged Dragons of the Alliance were not to be trifled with. On the surface, they promised You Lun that they would be honest mercenaries, but in secret, they repeatedly flew to Dragonstone Island to throw wildfire bombs. While destroying the core of the Magic Net, they also wanted to force the Iron Throne into action.
You Lun, the hero of Liangshan, held the letter from Dragonstone Island. His expression …
.....
After discovering the special identity of Scholar Aegon White Harbor, You Lun's first mission was to encourage Jon Stark to send a request for help to Sansa and try to pull Aegon's forces to Winterfell.
At that time, Aegon's armies from the North and South had left for King's Landing. Even a fool would know that if he focused part of his efforts on the North, the Iron Throne would have an easier time.
By letting Aegon and Erlu meet, they would be able to incite internal strife. While eliminating Erlu, who was close to the Iron Treasury, it would further weaken Aegon's forces.
Err, although Erlu had Aunt May's protection and the Iron Treasury's unlimited gold buff from afar, You Lun and the others thought that he was a grasshopper in autumn who would not last long.
After all, Erlu had almost died at the hands of Little Skinner.
Aegon should be stronger than Little Skinner, right?
Before Scholar Aegon could speak, Jon had already arranged for Meiji and Gabbert to go to River Rapture City to look for Sansa.
You Lun …
To let Erlu last longer, You Lun gave Scholar Aegon a new mission: to inform Erlu about the current situation of the True Dragon Alliance.
Only by knowing the enemy and knowing oneself can one win a hundred battles!
Alright, You Lun did not expect Erlu to win back then.
He only hoped that Erlu, that stumbling block, would be harder and bigger, so that Aegon would fall hard.
It would be best if Aegon could fight on two fronts for a long time: against Erlu in the North, and against the Iron Throne in King's Landing.
As the commander, Aegon had to fly between the North and the South frequently. Apart from exhausting him, it also gave the hired team an opportunity to ambush him.
You Lun also knew that Aegon traveled at night and was on guard against the possible appearance of the Winged Dragon Knights.
.....
No one would have thought that Erlu would be able to capture King Aegon.
When he received the letter from Scholar Aegon, You Lun's jaw almost dropped.
But Cersei …
"Wahahahaha! I've been praying to the Holy Mother every day, and finally, the Holy Mother has begun to care for me!
Everything has been going too well recently. Whatever I want comes to me. Sansa, that stupid bitch, ran to the North on her own with the false dragon. Stannis also didn't need our help. He took care of Aegon himself.
If this is not the Holy Mother's blessing, then what is? “
At the Imperial Conference, Queen Cersei was in high spirits, her face glowing. She placed her left hand on her waist and waved the letter of Aegon's capture with her right hand, as if she was waving a banner of victory.
Then, before Erlu could send someone to take over the command of the True Dragon Alliance, the King's Landing sent the news of Aegon's defeat and death to the Valley and the Golden Knights.
Of course, the Valley's vassals, the Golden Knights, the Dornish princess, and the nobles of the Stormlands did not believe the Iron Throne's nonsense, but they would definitely send a letter to the Valley to ask.
After that, the morale of the True Dragon Alliance was in chaos. The Valley's vassals hesitated, and the Stormlands' nobles retreated. Only the Golden Knights and the Dornishmen were left at the forefront. (Outside the King's Landing, on the southern shore of the Blackwater)
The Iron Throne's target was only the Golden Knights and Dornish.
Without Aegon, the Golden Knights and Dornish still treated the Iron Throne as their enemy. Without Aegon, the Stormlands' nobles returned home. The Valley's vassals lost their interests, and their morale began to fall.
"Wahahahaha! The Holy Mother's blessing, the false dragon alliance has been destroyed. Prince Hun has been exiled by Stannis. Stannis has betrayed the Seven Gods, and will forever be abandoned by the people of the Seven Kingdoms.
The War of the Three Kings has ended. I am the true ruler of the Westeros, the queen who is blessed by the Seven Gods! "
Cersei stood in front of a pillar in front of the Great Cathedral of Baelor. She was wearing a crown and a dress with intricate patterns. She held her head high like a hen that had just laid an egg, clucking proudly in front of a sparrow that could not lay an egg.
"Now, I want you to ring the bell and announce to the people of the Seven Kingdoms that I am the queen of the Andals, the Loynar, and the First Folk."
"No!" The sparrow shook her head firmly.
Cersei's proud face gradually turned ferocious.
"I have tolerated you until today because of the Holy Mother. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Cersei's murderous intent was like venom seeping out of a mamba's teeth.
Actually, this was the truth. If not for the Holy Mother's miracle of resurrecting the dead, Cersei would have slaughtered the Great Cathedral and taken the sparrow's head again.
The archbishop frowned and sighed, "In what name do you call yourself a king? Robert Byra Theon ended the Targaryens and established the Byra Theon Dynasty.
It is still the Byra Theon Dynasty. You are only Robert's wife, and you have already remarried.
How can I let the matriarch of the Greyjoy family become the rightful heir of the Byra Theon Dynasty? "
"Are you going to welcome Stannis back to King's Landing? When he returns, I don't think you will need to crown him. He has a red-robed priestess, and even … "
Cersei pointed at the tall temples around her and mocked, "This magnificent Great Cathedral of Byra will also be dyed red and become the Lahlo Temple. Are you going to help the pagans blaspheme the Seven Gods? “
The bitterness on the sparrow's face deepened.
This was truly a rotten era.
Aegon's identity was unknown, and there were suspicions that his bloodline was mixed up. Rotten!
Most importantly, he was determined to take away the church's tax and military rights. Rotten!
Cersei had made all the mistakes a woman could make. She even married someone else and lost her sense of righteousness. Rotten to the core!
Erlu converted to the evil gods, burned the statues of the Seven Gods, and forced the believers of the Seven Gods to convert to the Light King. There was nothing worse than him!
The sparrow was too difficult.
"You may have murdered most of Robert's illegitimate children, but not all of them," he said.
"What do you mean?" Cersei was surprised.
"Robert Byra is the illegitimate child of Theon and Delina Floren. Eide Rick Windstorm. His bloodline is clear, and his mother is of noble status. He is of suitable age and is qualified to be Tommen the First's successor."
"Eide Rick …" Cersei's face was twisted like a demon's. The name was almost squeezed out from between her teeth.
"He is a bastard!" She growled.
"He is one hundred percent of Theon Byra's bloodline. The people of the Seven Kingdoms know that," the sparrow said calmly.
"He is missing. He died a long time ago."
"He has always been protected by loyal knights. He is very safe. After King Tommen passed away, Eide Rick Windstorm sent me a letter and asked me to restore his identity as Theon Byra. I agreed. "
If Eide Rick Windstorm could become Eide Rick Byra Theon, his inheritance rights would surpass Erlu's.
Only Myrcella's inheritance rights would surpass Eide Rick's because she was the first wife's daughter.
"Bastard, bastard, I want …" Cersei clenched her fists so hard that her nails almost pierced through her palms. "Where is he?"
"In a place where you can't hurt him." The sparrow's gaze was cold.
"Haha." Cersei seemed to have suddenly realized something. She laughed hysterically. "Just you wait. Let's see if I can cut off his little head!"
"Prince Eide Rick is not King Robert's only surviving illegitimate child. Queen Dowager, accept the fate of the Seven Gods and return to the Iron Islands!"
.....
"Send a letter to Dragonstone Island. Ask the Dragon Queen to send Myrcella back!" Davon Lannister went to Megal Tower with his crutch to advise Cersei.
"Myrcella, my daughter …" Cersei's eyes were immediately filled with tears.
You Lun's eyes flashed. "Will Danny Lissa agree?"
"Theoretically, she will not refuse," Sir Davon said seriously. "According to the tradition of the Seven Kingdoms, when a hostage needs to return home to inherit his father's title, no upright guardian can stop him. Instead, they will protect him to complete the inheritance."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Cersei's face was filled with joy. She said eagerly, "This is tradition, this is the rule. She has no reason to refuse. My Myrcella, my good daughter. She is still so young and she has to live under the vile Mother Of Dragons. Huhuhu …"
She cried and shouted, "Send a letter to Dragonstone Island immediately. I want Myrcella. She is my only child. I want to protect her."
